Content

Only 2 more weeks in the competition! As it draws to an end, one thing I really want to focus on is being happy and content with who I am and what I weigh. It is just a number on the scale. I think so many people get so caught up with the number on the scale. But what really matters to me is if I am happy with who I am, inside and out. It is an everyday, constant battle. But I am exactly who God created me to be and to not love who I am would be not loving something God created. I still want to strive to be healthy and eat right and excercise. But I need to know that it is ok if I am not perfect or a size 2!
